Checked out the newest #Austin Texas bookstore: First Light Bookshop. Delightful! A great curated collection of books-bestsellers, classics, and a couple unique and unfamiliar books I had to bring home.
First #Light is the World War II memoir of Squadron Leader Geoffrey Wellum DFC, one of The Few.

pickFascinating memoir of one of youngest pilots in the Battle of Britain. Not a great pilot, but a reliable one, Wellum reflects the sad reality of the normal soldier - there is only a limited amount of courage,of fortitude. He started his career with three close friends - two of who were dead before training was over, the third within weeks of being assigned to a squadron. After two years of action you are no longer a useful aviator.
